Assuming the house is parallel to the ground, your triangle is made up by the house, the ground, and the ladder. Using sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse on the angle 70 degrees, you would have sin(70) = 20/x (because 20 is the side opposite of the angle connecting the ladder and the ground)
--> simplify sin(70) * x = 20 --> x = 20 / sin(70 
--> substitute (and make sure your calculator in in degrees) x= 21. 284

The volume of a cylinder is 980pi in3. The radius is 7 in. What is its height?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

D) 20 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by

V = pi r^2 h  where r is the radius and h is the height

Substituting what we know

980 pi = pi (7)^2 h

Divide each side by pi

980 pi /pi= pi 49 h/pi

980 = 49h

Divide each side by 49

980/49 = 49h/49

20 =h
